The emphasis on creating a 'mental musical map' is such a valuable takeaway. It gives beginners a structured way to approach ear training and avoid getting lost in trial and error.
Thank you, I like your method a lot, except the part about singing, which of course requires a couple more skills than being able to recognize notes and melodies, but certainly I fall into the beginning stage where I haven't fully form my understanding of pitches, including being able to recognize notes and much less to replicate by singing.
You nailed it with the relative to the root rather than intervalic approach. It can be hard to hear even the difference between 4ths and 5ths or minor or maj 3rd, but knowing how far something is from the root wether you go up or down to it is so much easier.
This was great. You should break it up for the shorts. The examples were very helpful.

Thank you! That's one of the most important steps in our method! 😉

Thank you! Yes, that makes all the difference.
